What are the drive symptoms that make you believe it is a motor problem?

Typically yes motor issues, but I was just asking in hope of the OP saying that he opened the drive or another somebody.

Motor is indeed common problem with this series, should be pretty straightforward for any half-decent pro. I'm sure there are a few in Italy on this forum that can handle this easily!

I've searched the web and found many peoples with motor problem, I found a web page taht says "•when holding it next to the ear you might hear slight ticking or scratching noise as if motor tries to spin up but cannot" with a sound sample taht is like my problem (is a commercial page so I think the link cannot be posted).

I wonder if there is a low cost solution (not DIY) or for recover the drive is necessary a motor replacement?

Thanks, Giuseppe

Sorry but I'm newbie and the system give me no permission to send PM: "We are sorry, but you are not authorised to use this feature. You may have just registered here and may need to participate more to be able to use this feature. "

I've NOT opened the drive

Hi hddguy

in this post mk8025gas-platter-swap-t9661.html#p58210 you told "These drives use fluid bearings which 'dry' up. You can use a hot air gun to heat the motor at the rear of the HDD being careful to protect the PCB" it's a possible solution?

Thanks, Giuseppe
